Product Spotlight- April 2015

This  months product spotlight are actually two things!

So as a belated birthday present to myself I decided to as Donna Megale and Tom Havaford would put it "Treat yo Self!" and go to Sephora to splurge a bit!

First thing I bought was Benefit's Rockitude Lips and Cheek set in rose gold! ($28)

Now I have been loving the rose gold trend for a while now and this kit did not disappoint!

What caught my eye obviously was the packaging because if you can't tell already I love pink.

Also love that it comes in like a jewelry box, with a mirror included and it's portable so you can take it anywhere!

Once you open it, it will include:

 Benefit's lip and cheek tint and high beam highlighter

Blush in the color Rockature

Rockature  lipgloss

 All you have to do is follow the instructions and steps that are numbered, and you have your look for spring and Summer!

Also worn with Bella Pierre Eye shimmer in Celebration, Maybelline Butterfly mascara and Boutique kohl eyeliner

 I actually love that the lip tint also works as a cheek tint and it's very pigmented so a little goes a long way!

The second thing I purchased is something I've been wanting for a while now and that's the Beauty Blender. ($20)

It's probably the most I spent on a beauty tool, but I kept hearing it was the holy grail of beauty products, so I was like what the hell I'm going to treat myself today!

And I have to say it's the best decision I've ever made!

It's light weight and very easy to use.

I love that you don't need to use a lot of product on it and it will give you an effortless look rather than a cakey feel.

All you have to do is put your favorite liquid foundation (I find it easier to dab the foundation directly on m my face) and use the beauty blender and  just swiftly dab it (using the bottom side) around your face and for the smaller places, use the pointed side (this is also good for concealer).



Overall, I'm very happy with my purchases and I hope you found this helpful!

November 2014 favorites

I'd like to start this post off with a huge thank you to everyone who read my previous post "my life with a disability" and if you haven't read it yet to get to know a little more about me, just go to my archive and you'll find it there :)

Okay onto my favorites..

I love when it becomes "sweater weather" and you can just wrap yourself in a cozy sweater!

I absolutely love this beige dog  pullover sweater I got from target ($11)!

 I don't really go for this color normally, but I saw the design and thought it was so cute! Plus it's really warm and comfy.

I am a big lover of hats and I look forward when the temperatures get colder so I can wear them! Like this bobble hat from Joe Boxer for Kmart ($9)

 And of course you also need a scarf to keep you warm! Like this heart grey/navy colored Reversible Hearts Infinity Scarf from Charming Charlies ($15)

Now that it is fall going into winter I am loving the dark lip trend right now!

First one is from Nyx's Simply Vamp collection ($5)

 

This is a chubby lip pencil in the color bewitching  with a purple tone that goes on matte. I was quite surprised at how long it lasted! It's very pigmented so you'll only need one coat.

The next one is from Revlon ($5)

This one is in the color Black Cherry that is a dark berry tone with a little  shine and I love the way it looks. Unlike the first one, if you want a very dark you may need to put on more than one coat and fill your lips with a lip liner with a similar color to make it last a little bit.

 moistrizing your lips is very important in these cold tempurtures

 

With Mongogo's lip balm ($6) will help moisten your lips with a cool mint feeling making your lips soft.

For the eyes I am using more autumnal tones using with Maybelline's The Nudes Platte ( $10)

 .

This palette has 6 shimmery and 6 matte shades to choose from. It's perfect to make any type of smoky eye or just use them individually.

Another Maybelline product I love is the Master Kajal cream eyeliner.($7)

This pencil is the first cream eyeliner from Maybelline. It will give you the dramatic eye your looking for this holiday season.

If you're looking for a little sparkle for your holiday look Beautique Long-Wear Automatic Eye Liner in Diamond ($4) will be your go to

. 

This retractable pencil goes on easy and will definitely give you a subtle  pop to your eyes with its sparkle.

Do you have a hard time putting on or just don't have time for fake lashes? Well with Maybelline's Falsies mascara ($6) will help you!

Like probably many of girls putting on lashes is a difficult task, especially if you're on the go. this makes it simple and fast and gives you a natural look.

Want to have your eyes look more awake in these cold days? Rimmel's Wake Me Up Conceler ($5)

This will brighten your eyes as well conceal your blemishes.

Since it is Winter dark/ grey colors are in trend for nails also.

Like this dark red from Nicole from OPI in Very Cherry ($5)

Or this grey tone from Sinful Color's in Nirvana ($2)

Those are my favorites! Until next time :)
